Pardew's got his work cut out to get us in contention by the January Window. I just hope this inspires EVERYONE and we get some decent support on the road. I'm half tempted to get down to Cardiff.
If anything does go through, deals could be done straight away on loan with a view to a permanent and to be honest January would probably be a bit late to sign players with the inevitable settling in period. Wouldn't be suprised to see a couple of decent loan players come in such as the likes Nugent at Pompey.
If Pards is not given a proper chance then I will be truly worried. That would mean imho that the new people are not going to do things the Charlton way and are just going to do exactly what they want with litle or no regard for the club as was.
Well Ken I think that Pardew is the manager we chose and under the circumstances he has had to work under with the sales etc I think we owe him a season or two longer.
I think that you're all getting far too carried away. This is an investment company who are more likely to do things slowly and surely. They're into making money not throwing it around and wasting it.
QPR were taken over last year and people were making similar predictions for them.
Thats true I guess but it might depend on whether they see Charlton as a corporate toy or really do see it as a money making investment which to me seems nieve at best. They will want prem football sooner rather than later whichever is the case.

Of course they see it as a money making investment - unfortunately. Good for us in the short term (5-10 years) but very bad in the long term (20 years).
Ok, I might sound contradictory here so i'll explain.
Firstly, in the very short term (1-2 years) I don't think we're going to be splashing the cash as people on here seem to expect.
In the short term (5-10 years) I reckon we'll be successful regaining our Premiership status etc.
In the long term I think they sell the club at a profit (being that they see the club as an investment) at which point we could be in all sorts of turmoil.
In addition we may in the meanwhile sell the ground and move to Kent.
I know I sound negative but I'm just balancing out the ridiculously over-positive posts on here. Why is everyone getting so excited about something which could be (and I hope I'm wrong) bad news in the long term for the club?
